This Is Probably Only Funny To Me…And Ryan…And My Mom. Hi Mom. Mom…Please Don’t Click The Link, It Will Kill You.

Okay, so, for those of you who DON’T live in Arizona (aka: are lucky), the two largest universities are ASU and U of A…and there is a bit of a rivalry. ASU people do this bizarre hand gesture, meant to look like a pitchfork, but it looks EXACTLY like a different hand gesture, which, in America…is completely pornographic.

Me: (Sending picture of my kids with the U of A mascots at a science fair.)

Ryan: Nice! Glad to see they’re carousing with the better university. Keep them away from the ASU people, they’ll teach them dirty hand gestures. I’m still trying to figure out how they started using “The Shocker” as their symbol.

Me: Oh, my, God…I wonder that EVERY TIME.

Ryan: I have this image that it was started as a prank, when a U of A grad said, “No, really, you guys need a hand sign. It would be really cool.”

Me: It doesn’t even look like a pitchfork. Since when are pitchfork tines uneven?

God, you have no idea. I have a classroom full of kids who think they invented every marijuana reference on Earth, and I couldn’t POSSIBLY know what they’re talking about when they talk about what they’re doing after school.

I too clicked the link. I have always considered myself to be rather savvy but I am somewhat traumatized. Not because of the gesture itself, but that I’ve managed 42 years on this planet as an avid college football fan and never knew what they were doing!! I now need to go research the Aggies and other teams to see if they are pervs too!!
